<P>I was listening to NPR earlier today from a reporter at a military base in Iraq. He said that there were 2 new bases in Iraq, one called "Chevron," the other "Shell." He said no one has taken responsibility for choosing the names.</P>
<P>Has anyone else heard about this?</P>
<P>Since this war (officially) is not about the US controlling the Iraqi oil fields, the naming of these bases after US oil companies seems a bit odd. In fact, it seems like it's going to piss off a lot of people in the Middle East who do view the US invasion as imperialistic.</P>
<P>I wonder when Texaco and Exxon are going to get recognition. Since the British are involved, shouldn't there be a British Petroleum military base as well?</P>
